If your Suzuki Alto pulls to one side while driving straight, it can be a sign of several underlying issues, most commonly related to alignment o r tire pressure.

Possible Causes:

Wheel Alignment Issues: Misalignment of the wheels can cause the vehicle to pull to one side, as the wheels aren’t pointing straight ahead.
Uneven Tire Pressure: If one tire has more air than the others, it can cause the car to pull toward the side with the lower pressure.
Worn-out Suspension Components: Worn-out parts in the suspension system, such as struts o r bushings, can cause uneven wear on the tires and affect how the car drives.
Uneven Tire Wear: If the tires are unevenly worn, they can create pulling tendencies. This can be caused by misalignment o r improper tire rotation.
Solution:

Get the Alignment Checked: Have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted if necessary. This should be done every 10,000 to 15,000 km o r if you notice any pulling.
Check Tire Pressure: Regularly check tire pressure and ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended levels.
Inspect Suspension Components: Have the suspension system checked for worn-out parts, especially struts and bushings, that might be causing the issue.
Check for Uneven Tire Wear: Inspect the tires for uneven wear patterns and consider rotating them if necessary.
